Thursday Next
Jasper Fforde writes mystery/fantasy mystery novels. (At our shop, we alternate between regular mystery and sfi-fi/fantasy for his stuff.) Two of our staff members just love him to death and eagerly await anything new that he writes. From his website,
Hello! If you are completely new to my writing, the best place to start is either with the ‘Thursday Next’ series or the ‘Nursery Crime’ Series. If you opt for the former there are four books so far: The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book, The Well of Lost Plots and Something Rotten. If you opt for the latter, The Big Over Easy was published in 2005 with the second, The Fourth Bear, released in the summer of 2006. It’s best to read the ‘Thursday Next’ series in order, the ‘Nursery Crime’ Series less so.
This is the new promo kit that we got for the new Thursday Next novel. It includes a cd with a reading, a pin, a bumper sticker, and a short “deleted scene” chapter. Very funny stuff. A quote about the Thursday Next novels, from his website….
Here at thursdaynext.com we have put together as much information about the shadowy heroine of The Eyre Affair fame as we can within the strict guidelines of the Special Operations Network. From her disputed birthdate to her disappearance in November 1985 and then to her reappearance in 1988 and her contribution to the SuperHoop ‘88 Croquet final, we have pieced together as much as we can. I will be adding to this site as and when I have new information, so stay tuned.
